Trump Betrays Afghan War Allies Left Behind

The same government that promised protection is now closing its doors—abandoning allies, women, and families still at risk.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of State has formally notified Congress of its plans to eliminate the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE), the sole office dedicated to supporting Afghans left behind after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. The closure is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025, unless Congress acts to reverse or delay the decision.
